"I like working at Legacy Reserve because everyone is kind, loving people, everyone is willing to help each other out!”

Hi, my name is Chloe Ferrell, and I am from Rogersville, Tennessee. I moved to Piedmont, South Carolina, at the age of twelve (12), and now I’m currently enrolled at Woodmont High School as a rising senior. I am 16 years old and will be graduating early this year. I started working for Legacy Reserve in 2025 and have enjoyed every moment of it.

I enjoy interacting with the residents because they are truly knowledgeable and kind-spirited. This job has enabled me to become a more critical thinker and problem solver, thanks to my job duties. No, two people are the same, so being able to accommodate residents is a goal that I aim to reach on every shift.

When I’m not at school or work, I like spending my free time sleeping and watching TV. I am also a “foodie,” and I like experiencing meals of distinct cultures. Some of my favorite foods include spaghetti, chicken, and fries.

I am so incredibly honored to be recognized as Employee of the Month. I am thankful to be part of the work crew here at Legacy Reserve because they represent the true motto of being no “I” in team.

Scottish Heart

Alexa play "Epistle to Derroll" from "Donovan"

Appearing on Donovan’s 1967 double album A Gift from a Flower to a Garden fused psychedelic folk with childlike wonder, marking him as a true Scottish poet-storyteller.

The song is a heartfelt tribute to his mentor Derroll Adams, it glows with gratitude and the intimacy of folk tradition. You can also hear The Mandolin Man and His Secret, from the same disc wich is of course, inspired by the same man.

Social Events and Activities

Social activities for seniors are crucial for preserving emotional, mental, and physical health as they age. Engaging in these activities helps mitigate anxiety and depression, fosters feelings of being valued, and builds routines that stave off loneliness

Welcome to Scotland

Scotland: The Land Beyond the Wall
When the Roman Empire pushed north into Britannia, it met fierce tribes the legions could never conquer. To mark the limit of their reach, the Romans built Hadrian’s Wall, and further north, the Antonine Wall — yet beyond lay the untamed lands we now call Scotland.

By the 8th century, Scotland began to take shape as a kingdom, often in conflict with its southern neighbor, England. Centuries of wars, heroes like William Wallace, and an enduring sense of independence defined its story. In 1707, Scotland formally united with England, creating Great Britain, which later grew into the United Kingdom alongside Ireland.

Still today, Scotland remains proudly distinct — with its Gaelic roots, tartans, castles, and legendary landscapes reminding the world of a culture that was never fully subdued.

Margie New

Hi! I’m originally from North Florida and a proud parent of two amazing boys. One of my sons joined the Air Force following in my footsteps, since I also served. It’s something that fills me with pride every single day.
These days, I’m enjoying a new chapter of life at Legacy Reserve, where I truly appreciate my freedom. I don’t have to worry about folding clothes or making my bed instead, I get to focus on the things I love having fun, enjoying good meals, getting rest, and just living life to the fullest.
Music and dancing are two of my biggest passions. There’s nothing like a good song to lift the spirit, and you’ll often find me moving to the beat or just relaxing with my favorite tunes.
Life has taught me the value of service, family, and joy and now, I’m taking the time to enjoy every moment.

Hi! I’m originally from Washington, DC, and I’ve always been someone who finds joy in the little things whether it’s playing a melody on the piano or enjoying a classic film. Music has been a constant in my life I’m a proud parent to two incredible kids, ages 9 and 16, who keep life fun, challenging, and full of purpose. Working at Legacy it’s all about caring for people, showing up with compassion, and making sure those around me feel seen and supported.

My favorite color is green . I’m also a huge fan of 1980s horror movies there’s just something about the nostalgia, the creativity, and the thrill of those old-school scares that I can’t get enough of. I’m someone who values kindness, creativity, and connection. Whether through music, family, or community, I believe in leaving a legacy rooted in care.
